Microsoft: Reaching new levels of purity, this ad was banned because people said it promoted ‘sexting.’ Are they being to careful?
Intel: Hmm… what could possible appear racist about this ad?

IBM: After combing the web IBM came off pretty clean… they did however hire the Amazing Racist, aka Ari Shaffir for the ad below.
